New Realty Firm Focuses on Beach Property

HOOVER, Ala. – (Realty News Report) – A new niche real estate company focused on beach properties has been launched for buying and selling beach homes and lots.

The company’s website, Beach-Homes.com (dash between Beach and Homes), simplifies the search process for beachfront, beach view, and beach access homes and lots. Beach-Homes.com features more than 68,000 coastal properties across 14 states, from Texas around to New Hampshire. Florida dominates the website’s current listings, with nearly 42,000 homes or lots across 185 beach communities.

The beach-focused venture is an expansion of an established Alabama-based firm called Lake Homes Realty.

“Our company has been a leader in niche real estate for more than 10 years and specializes in helping connect buyers and sellers with dream homes on or near the water,” said Glenn S. Phillips, CEO and chief economic analyst of Beach Homes Realty. “Lake Homes Realty has grown into the largest lake-focused real estate brokerage in the country,” said Phillips. “Beach Homes Realty was the natural progression in connecting buyers and sellers in specific niche markets. Beach-Homes.com is an advanced tool to simplify these searches,” said Phillips. “From coastal lots in quiet beach communities to spectacular multi-million-dollar estates in Miami, Beach-Homes.com has something for anyone who has dreamed of living the beach life.”

Here are the 14 states featured on Beach-Homes.com ranked from highest to lowest in the number of recent listings for beach homes and lots (as of 5/16/23):

This beach niche emphasis benefits serious shoppers, as well as those simply dreaming of owning a vacation home,” said Phillips.
